Indications for Pediatric Enucleations of Non-Retinoblastoma Globes in Saudi Arabia with Clinical and Radiological Correlation To Final Histopathological Diagnosis.

Eye trauma is a leading cause for pediatric enucleation in about half of the non-retinoblastoma globes with higher prevalence in older children.

When combined with end stage traumatized globes presenting as painful blind eye or phthisis bulbi, the rate increases to 57.4% of the enucleations.

Health awareness and safety measures during sports and other activities should be implemented. Ophthalmologists should be aware of ophthalmic diseases presenting as pseudoretinoblastoma leading to possible unnecessary enucleations.
